1 Contributions to the Knowledge of the Myrmecophilous Pselaphines (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Pselaphinae) from China. IX. a Redefinition of the Genus Anaclasiger, with a Description of a Second Species Associated with Prenolepis sphingthoraxa (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) by Zi-Wei Yin 1, Bao-Ping Huang 2 & Li-Zhen Li 1,3 ABSTRACT The genus Anaclasiger Raffray is redefined and its taxonomic placement briefly discussed, based on the discovery of a second species of the genus, A. zhudaiae sp. n., collected in association with the ant Prenolepis sphingthoraxa from South China. The new species is described and illustrated. An identification key to species of Anaclasiger is provided. INTRODUCTION The monotypic genus Anaclasiger Raffray was established (Raffray, 1890a) for a unique species, A. sinuaticollis Raffray, from Singapore. Subsequently, the species was recorded from Taiwan (Raffray, 1914) and Malaysia (Nomura & Idris, 2005). Recently, A. sinuaticollis was redescribed (Nomura et al., 2006) in detail with SEM illustrations, and was reported from Thailand and Japan in the same paper. In 2010, the junior author, Bao-Ping Huang, conducted several investigations on the local entomological fauna of Shenzhen city, during which a small series of clavigerine beetles were collected from several colonies of the ant Prenolepis sphingthoraxa Zhou et Zheng. Among the collected specimens, some proved to represent an undescribed genus and species, recently named (Yin et al. 2011) Sinoclavigerodes yalianae, and a single individual belonged to an unknown species of the genus Anaclasiger. 1 Lab of Environmental Entomology, Department of Biology, College of Life and Environmental Sciences, Shanghai Normal University, 100 Guilin Road, Shanghai, , P.

2 596 Sociobiology Vol. 59, No. 3, 2012 The purpose of this paper is to redefine the genus Anaclasiger and briefly discuss its taxonomic placement, to describe the new species with illustrations of its major diagnostic features, and to provide an identification key to species of the genus Anaclasiger. MATERIAL AND METHODS A slash (/) is used to separate lines on the same label, a double slash (//) is used to separate different labels. The foveal terminology follows Chandler (2001), except for using ventrite instead of sternite. The following acronyms are used in the text: AL length of the abdomen; AW maximum width of the abdomen, measured in dorsal view; BL length of the body (= HL + PL + EL + AL); EL length of the elytra, measured along the sutural line; EW maximum width of the elytra; HL length of the head, measured from the anterior clypeal margin to the occipital constriction; HW width of the head across eyes; PL length of the pronotum along midline; PW maximum width of the pronotum. The holotype is deposited in the Insect Collections of Shanghai Normal University. Anaclasiger Raffray, 1890a: 165 TAXONOMY Genus Anaclasiger Raffray Type species Anaclasiger sinuaticollis Raffray (subseq. mon. by Raffray, 1890b: 216). Diagnosis Head cylindrical, frontal rostrum strongly projecting; antennae formed by four antennomeres, antennomeres I II short, and antennomeres III IV long; antennomeres IV rounded apically, lacking setose truncate cavity. Pronotum lacking foveae; with distinct lateral antebasal constriction. Elytra lacking basal foveae; discal striae present; lacking setal trichome at posterolateral margins.

3 Zi-Wei Yin et al. The Myrmecophilous Genus Anaclasiger 597 Redescription Length mm. Head with prominent frontal rostrum, lacking antennal tubercles; nude vertexal foveae widely separated; antennae with four antennomeres, antennomeres I II short and subequal in length, III IV elongate; antennomeres III straight, IV much longer than III, curved laterally, with dense apical setae; gula broadly and shallowly swollen, with two gular foveae moderately separated. Pronotum with thick discal setae in anterior half; mediobasal impression large and shallow; distinct lateral antebasal constriction covered with rows of long setae; lacking lateral antebasal foveae; lacking lateral procoxal foveae. Elytra lacking basal fovea; discal striae extending from humeral angle and extending to at least elytral midpoint. Meso- and metathorax lacking foveae; metathorax strongly convex medially; with broad posterior margin. Legs short to elongate; tarsomeres I II very short, III elongate; tarsomeres I often difficult to see. Abdomen with tergites IV VI fused into composite plate, with deep transverse basal impression, deep basolateral foveae in impression; thick setal trichome at lateral ends of impression; paratergites IV VI well demarcated, IV with linear tufts of setae at base; sternites IV V subequal in length, VI VII short; sternite IV with large mediobasal foveae. Aedeagus asymmetric, median lobe broad and enlongate; with sclerotized endophallus; large dorsal diaphragm opening oval. Comparative notes. This is placed as a unique genus in the subtribe Clavigerodina by the head being separated from the neck by an occipital carina, the elytra covered with short, thin and sparse setae arranged without order, and the composite tergite lacking a laterally well-defined furrow in the large transverse basal depression. Anaclasiger shares only with Microdiartiger Sawada the short antennomeres I II and long antennomeres III IV. This genus also shares with Sinoclavigerodes Yin et al. the lack of the setal trichome at the elytral posterolateral margins. Anaclasiger can be readily separated from all Asian clavigerodine genera by the terminal antennomere being rounded apically (not truncate) and lacking an apical setose cavity, and the pronotum with a distinct lateral antebasal constriction.

Pronotum (Fig. 3) slightly longer than wide, PL 0.42 mm, PW 0.32 mm; lacking punctation; lateral antebasal constriction formed by distinct marginal sulci; small mediobasal pit in large impression. Elytra (Fig. 5) wider than long, EL 0.55 mm, EW 0.76 mm; sparsely with short setae dorsally, with row of long thick setae at posterolateral margins; discal striae extending from humeral angle to 2/3 of elytral length. Composite plate strongly convex dorsally, with long discal setae and short setae around disc. Tergite VIII (Fig. 6) transverse, roundly narrowed posteriorly, with thick setae. Sternite VIII (Fig. 7) transverse, flat at posterior margin. Female genitalia complex (Fig. 8) well sclerotized. Male. Unknown.

The single specimen was collected from the ant colony nesting under a rock near a stream (Fig. 9). Distribution Guangdong Province, South China. Remarks The new species can be readily separated from A. sinuaticollis by the much longer antennae and legs, antennomeres IV slightly curving laterally at the apical half, elytra with sparse long and thick setae at the anterolateral margins, and the elytral discal striae extending past the elytral midpoint. Anaclasiger sinuaticollis has relatively short antennae and legs, antennomeres IV are abruptly twisted laterally in the apical half, the elytra lack long thick setae at the anterolateral margins, and the discal striae end at the elytral midpoint. The habitat of the new species is shown in Fig 9. Etymology The specific name is dedicated to the junior author s grandmother, Zhu- Dai Zhang, to celebrate her coming 85th birthday. 601
